I'm an orthopedic patient of Dr. Mahboubian. I came to him a year ago for extreme pain in my left knee. After a thorough examination of my xray, he showed me that I had bone on bone and recommended a knee replacement. I agreed to it, but he didn't perform it right away. I was obese, weighing in at 256 pounds and I am 5'2. Dr. M suggested that I lose weight first before I have surgery. Initially I didn't understand, and I was very upset with him. It took me a year to lose 65 pounds, but I did it and he performed the surgery on October 24, 2024. I am so glad that he recommended that I lose weight first. It is the best thing that I could've done for myself. I am recovering very well from my surgery and I know it is because I am not carrying the extra weight around with me. I will say this to anyone having to have a knee replacement and is overweight. Lose as much weight as possible. Dr.M said that losing as much as twenty pounds can make a significant difference in your recovery. Lastly I will say this. A total knee replacement surgery is painful, but being in better health, lessons the need to be on pain medication for an extended amount time. It makes it easier to perform the physical therapy exercises, which leads to a quicker recovery, and it lessens the chance of getting an infection. I hope my review is helpful to everyone needing any type of knee surgery. Thank you Dr. Mahboubian! I'm so glad you are my doctor and I love the professionalism of your staff. They are all top tier. read more

not a good experience for me. I was told I needed a major shoulder surgery in a very short appointment with the doctors. They refused to give me any pain. Relief. And when I called the office and told crystal that I needed to speak with the doctors because there needed to be a lot of things in place before I could have the surgery. I was never allowed to speak with the surgeons. Therefore, I would never trust them, not to mention. I've done more research. And they have some very bad reviews. And I'm not gonna take a chance on being anyone's experiment. And that's what it feels like. So no, thank you It's just something shady about it all!!! read more

Best doctor best care and best customer service ever seen You don't need to wait hours to see the doctor read more

Unbelievable ! I have had 18 knee surgeries and 2 shoulder surgeries so I have seen my share of Orthopedics. Donna, the nurse, is without a doubt, the most caring, compassionate, nurse I have ever had! I do not do well with cortisone shots so Donna gets my water, and holds my hand the entire time. Speaking of cortisone shots, I was petrified because usually they hurt so much I pass out. Dr. Mahoubian is amazing. Barely felt a thing. Not only that, he actually is funny, kind and above all very knowledgeable. I have been told by many Orthopedics I knee 2 TKR. However, Dr. Mahoubian has a plan that will most likely give me a few more years. I am so grateful to both of them. On top of that, the staff is awesome, and you do not wait forever. I would give 10 stars if I could. Donna you are truly an Angel. Dr. Mahoubian, I am so grateful to have found you! read more

From the minute I called to make an appointment, I felt so welcomed. Crystal was so kind and accommodating...she got me in the very next day. Dr. Mahboubian and Dr. Patrick both came in to assess my issue and I felt seen and heard. Very professional but also very nice guys! I would highly recommend this practice. Very pleased with the outcome of the appointment. read more

I took my father to Dr. Shahab Mahboubian for a necessary shoulder surgery. I was very worried because he was close to 80 and I've heard so many stories of this particular surgery not properly healing the shoulder. His office was very attentive and available. He Co pleated my father's surgery without a hitch. One month later my father in law required the same surgery. Although my father's surgery was still healing I took my father in law to Dr mahboubian because he had such a calm, professional, and assuring bedside manner. He's young, with the times, and does miraculous height lengthening surgeries (one of the few Dr's in the world). It's been a year and both my father and father in law are as good as new. I'd recommend Dr Shahab to anyone in need. You can trust you're in good hands. Thank you Dr. for taking such good care of my family. read more

SCAM DR OFFICE I waited weeks to get an appointment while my shoulder was dislocated. When I went in the doctor never saw me. His assistant talked over me the entire time. I told his assistant I'll just talk to the doctor when he comes in. His assistant said, "he's not coming in, but if I need surgery then he would see me". Wow, what a joke. I'm letting my insurance company know I'm 100% convinced this office is a scam. Don't waste your time!! This office takes no pride in their work. It's a cut-you-open-and-run company. They have a welfare mentality and don't want to work just want to collect a check. read more

The doctor is extremely knowledgeable and took his time listening to my concern and recommended series of treatment. The offices are very clean and the staffs are very friendly and professional. read more

Doc Shahab was very objective and kind during my consultation. He's the kind of doctor that HEARS you! Looks to you during the consultation. He referes me to the right treatment and specialist. I recommend him for sure. Give him a shot! read more

The staff is knowledgeable and pleasant. Dr. Patrick was very professional and amiable. He recommended several really helpful tips for my aching knee and helped make a schedule, subject to insurance approval, for a pain management procedure. Definitely recommended. read more

Amazing doctor. Took great care of my brother during his shoulder surgery. Super professional and informative. Explained and provided visual images of the surgery process and recovery. Great staff, courteous and see you on a timely manner. Can't recommend enough! read more

It was a mistake to let Dr. Shahab Mahboubian do a surgery on me. My knee got super bad after surgery, but let's assume I was just unlucky. After that, I tried to contact him but he never ever answer. Someone had to drive me to the ER. His excuse is that he was changing his phone number so he was unable to take calls. What kind of professional surgeon leaves one of his patients to their own devices after a major surgery? I then tried to make follow up appts but he seems busy and couldn't take me anymore. He "referred" me to a physical therapist to handle the pain and recover, but none of the people he referred me to could take me... some of them even didn't practice anymore. This was a very expensive and horrifying experience. Good luck to you if you go there. read more

I feel very blessed that I got referred to dr Broukhim. Needless to mention the professionalism of the entire team at his office... Dr Broukhim has a natural kindness and a very articulate way to explain his findings... read more

I had a great experience with my visit to the Orthopedic Surgeon if that's even possible. Dr. Mahboubi spent an adequate amount of time with my examination and looking over xrays. He explained things very well and put me at ease about upcoming procedures and what to expect in the future. The front desk was attentive and polite. read more

Thank you Doctor!! You're the greatest!! My experience is that everyone in this office is compassionate, knowledgeable, experienced and kind. Highly recommend!! read more

Got canceled due to COVID-19 testing. I got tested at official site for COVID-19 but this doctors office cancelled my surgery because I didn't go to get tested their Referal place. They said that the COVID-19 testing on topanga canyon testing facility center is not valid. All this time I knew people get tests done but for my doctor it's not accurate testing center. Not professional service all I can say that your service is not accurate. read more

Dr. Ahdoot listened to my concerns from the beginning. I appreciate the job he did on my knee!

Went in for a torn meniscus on my right knee and came out 2 hours later feeling pretty damn good. Went through all of my rehabilitation 6 weeks later my leg or right knee feels better than ever, thanks Dr Shahab read more

The rudest staff ever. I was having a conversation on instagram with their marketing person and they didn't like my questions. They blocked me and then when I called to ask the same question the front desk was so rude. There is another doctor that does the same surgery in Nevada with cheaper price and way better customer service. This doctor is greedy and has the worse staff ever. read more

Update: the condescending response to my review only magnifies how dismissive this office is with a person's time. I arrived early to fill out paper work. I was finished with the paper work by the time my appointment was supposed to start. I fully expect to wait for a doctor who may be in surgery or be running over time, but an hour+ of a wait with zero acknowledgement of the length of my wait is bullshit. Also- I can't get an X-ray because I'm pregnant and there was no blood work done. This office is inefficient. Period. Go somewhere else. If your time is important to you, find another doctor. My appointment was at 9 am. I was 5 min early. I was a new patient so I arrived a few minutes early to fill out paper work. At 9:20 I was put in a room and then a man who arrived at the office 10-15 min after me was put into a room. At 9:37 a nurse came in to ask if I had any X-rays done (even though I'd just filled out the paperwork that asked the same question and I answered "no). I asked her if a wait of that length was common. She said yes without hesitation. Noted. The doctor saw the other guy first saw him first. I could hear his entire visit thanks to the extremely thin walls. At 9:59 the doctor took a 7 minute phone call. Again, thin walls. At 10:06 he walked into my room. He asked how I was and I said I was irritated as my appointment was at 9. He apologized but it was very clear that this was very normal for the office. Don't waste your time. There are plenty of good orthopedists in the area. read more

Dr. Mahboubian did a total knee replacement for my husband, and he is the best. His knee is solid, and totally recovered, and I am glad we went with him. His office can get hectic, and the wait's often long, but that's no different than most surgeons we been to. His staff seems to be efficient, and they are very nice. He is a caring man, and we found him to be as likeable as he is talented at surgery. Simply put, we would not hesitate to go back to Dr. Mahboubian, if I needed my other knee replaced, he is a skilled Doctor. We would recommend him to anyone who needs a knee replacement. read more

Great office. Dr. Mahboubian is very thorough and nice. He is great at putting you at ease and always professional and kind.

If I can give zero stars I will! Worst place dr came 30 mins late no one said anything until I got frustrated, they told my spouse an hour-&30 min wait. Wtf really our appointment was at 1:30 and now 11:50 that's going over the 1hour and 30 mins wait what the doctor takes only 10 mins with patients that's ridiculous! Never come here to waste your money these people don't know crap just taking peoples money and their attitude are worse, thank god im Latina and would give them the same attitude they tried to give me! Reception areas they don't even know what's going on! They have to ask the manager and the manager a total bitch WARNING GO ELSEWHERE IF ONLY I NEW HOW GHETTO THIS PLACE IS I WOULD NEVER CAME WOULD OF TOLD MY LAWYER TO SEND ME ELSEWHERE! read more

This is a fishy business. I should have known from the horrible smell this office has. Never saw dr. Maboubian. Assistant said he did not treat back. Left office right away wondering why no one informed that over the phone. Sure enough got a bill from "visit". Steer clear! read more

I was referred to Dr Mahboubian for a torn meniscus and arthritis in both of my knees. He, his associate and office we're all wonderful. He did surgery for my torn meniscus and gave me a cortisone shot for the arthritis in my right knee. It has been about 2 months and I am healing well. Dr. Mahboubian takes the time to listen to your concerns and explains everything to you. Not that I would want to go back but If I needed to, I would not hesitate. read more

The nurse Denash was intentionally rude when she thought I had been discharged, I called in to ask for 2 mins of the Dr's time she was shocked to realize I hadn't been discharged, left me on hold for ever!! Finally she gets back on the phone and rudely asks how she could go about helping, turns out she her self could write an Rx of pain killers for me. I pick up the Rx, take it to rite aide, it is unclear and needs to be verified.. A whole day passes, I call rite aide, they left a msg for the nurse @ 10am. The nurse never returned the call. I will be without meds for yet another DAY. I called the Dr's after hours service, he instructed them to tell me JUST CALL IN tomorrow.. Zero fu$&s were given about my pain, pain Rx or, the nurses blunder. Tomorrow will be another day.. I will update this... Awful in every way. read more

I was nervous about getting orthoscopy on my knee. I had never had surgery of any kind before and was skeptical about the outcome. Dr. Mahboubian expressed that this is what he does, and he loves what he does. He assured me he would do a excellent job and that I would be 100 % happy about the results. Well... he was right. I liked his confidence, and enthusiasm. He has a very nice manner about him and seems to genuinely care for his patients and you can tell he takes pride in the work that he does. read more

Dr. Mahboubian is the most amazing doctor and he saved my life. My knee got injured during a basketball game and I could barely walk, but Dr. M. helped me recover and now my knee is healed. He is a very attentive, smart, detail oriented, caring doctor who really does want the best outcome for all of his patients. His staff is very nice and I had the best experience coming to his office. I recommend this doctor to everyone!!!!! read more

I had an injury earlier this month on my right knee. I was recommended/referred to Dr. Mahboubian on behalf my insurance. Easy set up of appointment, great location and parking right on the lot. Dr. Mahboubian was very attentive, professional, respectful and super positive of my outcome. All possible questions I could have were explained thoroughly and a plan was set in place to help with the rehabilitation of my knee. Im very happy to have such an amazing and recognized doctor by my side. All a patient really want is to feel the doctor truly cares about you and I felt that all the way. Dr's recommendations will be followed and I'm looking forward for my follow-up! Thank you Dr. Mahboubian ! Thank you to the wonderful staff as well. read more

Dr. Mahboubian has to be one of the most caring doctors I have come across in my life. He truly cares for his patients well being and does everything he can to help advise and guide them in the right direction. Eventhough he gets paid for surguries, he does not push them on you. He always trys to find the least invasive way to help you get better first before reccomending surgury... not many surgeons you can say that about. He is honest and has a great heart.. he is also a master at his craft. Not only is he my Ortho but I also sent my mother to him for surgury. I highly reccomend seeing Dr. Mahboubian for a consult or second opinion. read more
